POSTAL TELEGRAPH.
Senator Cullom Will Introduce an
Amendment to His Bill.


WASHINGTON. Dec. Ex-senator Cul
lom will introduce an amendment to his
postal telegraph bill Immediately after
the reasSembling of congress, changing
the rates named i'm the original bill,
more especially for the transmission of
press matter. While he believes that
congress ought to prescribe rates for
the use of government wires, as it pre-
cribeS rates for the use of the mails, in
stead of leaving it to the discretion of
officials, yet the rates named in his bill
were designed merely as a suggestion
to the committee which should have the
bill in charge. With subsequent study,
and with the information which has
come to him from many sources, he has
reached the conclusion that there ought
to be no difference upon government
lines between service of like character
rendered to evening papers and that to
morning papers. He says he appreciates
the w eight of the reason which leads
private companies to charge more for
day than night service. namely-the fact
that the wires are III great demand for
commercial messages at comparatively
high rates during the hours from 10 in
the morning to 2 or 3 of the afternoon;
but he believes that such reasons should
not operate as regards governmental
lines, and that the government should
have no preferred patrons as to rates
for like classes of business or as to or
der of transmission. The rates he names
in his amendment are based upon a unit
of 100 words or fraction thereof, and are
as follows: For 500 miles or less, %
cents; between 500 and 1000 miles, 30
cents; between 1000 and 1,500 miles, 80
cents; between 500 and 1000 miles, 40
cents; between 1000 and 5000 miles. As
cents, and for more tban 5000 miles, SO
cents. When more than one copy of the
same dispatch is sent to different news
papers at the same or at different Offices,
the postmaster general is to prescribe
the fates to be charged for the drop
copies.

Great Roads.


NEW YORK, Dec. 30.-The meetings
of the directors of the three Vanderbilt
roads, which were held to-day, were
awaited with greater interest than any
of the directors meetings for the past

that all the roads in the Vanderbilt sys-
tenn would make an increase in the

crease was made. The dividends de-
clared were 2 per cent on the Lake

WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.--Hon. Frank
Pettigrew has removed from the Ma
tional with his family and taken quar-
tiers on G street, in the same house with
Judge Clifford. He said this evening:
II shall go to New York next Tuesday,
to be gone about week or ten days.
My family will remain here, and shall
make Washington my headquarters all
winter. l am looking after my own
private interests, but shall do whatever
lieSn in my power for Dakota, in
what is right and proper" An old
member of Congress who has known the
Dawes bill ever since it was born, and
has watched it until it has become gray
headed, says: THAT bill has been
lobbied to death. So many persons have
been here in its interests that some
members have believed that there is a
big job in it somewhere. John j.
Kleiner alone can do more for the bill
than host. One good man to look after
it is better than score"
THE FOLLOWING COMPLIMENT
is paid by this evenings Critic: "COl.
William Thompson, of Bismarck, OAK,
arrived in the city to-day and will re-
main for some weeks. Col. Thompson,
it will be remembered by his many
friends in Washington. was one of the
first congressman from Iowa after the
admission of that state to the Union.
He served with distinction through the
war as colonel of the First Iowa cavalry,
and was then commissioned captain in
the regular army, seeing number of
years hard service on the frontier. He
is now one of the leading citizens of
Dakota, with grown up, prosperous
sons around him, and, in spite of his
advancing age, looking as though he
had many years of life and life's enjoy
mentS still before him."
THEY WILL RECEIVE.
1t is to-day officially announced that
Mrs. Senator Davis will receive next
Thursday with Mrs. Senator Sabin,
who will be assisted by the wife of As
sociate Justice Miller and other ladies,
including the Misses Murphy. Mrs.
Villas will be unable to assist Mrs.
Cleveland Monday at the New Years
reception, because of her continued i'll
ness, although it is given out to-day that
she is much improved. --t

one or two remarks they made Mrs.

pace and her purSuerS followed suit.
DR.. Hurd'S Office is in the second story,
and reached by rather dark passage
and flight of stairs. Mrs. Hurd ran up
and quickly told her husband, who was

A pedestrian In the vicinity of Eighth

Eastern Dakota is beginning to take
the interest it should toward the open

Pierre and Chamberlain and the Black
Hills have been the only localities that
seemed to take any special interest in
the opening of that great barrier to
Dakota's progress. The opening of the
reservation would be as great boon
to entire Eastern Dakota as to the Black
Hills.

ground that railway companies, who

tickets at $50, a rebate of $40 to be paid
to the purchaser when the coupons have
all been used. The tickets are to be
made Notwithstanding, and the SO is
to be forfeited If they have changed
hands. In this way it is thought the
